Do I need to get this looked at - small burn. Photo

I’m a t1 diabetic and did this a week ago.
It stopped hurting but now it hurts again.
But burns do hurt I suppose!
Should I get it checked?

You really should talk to your GP. A bunch of people on the internet could have all kinds of opinions, and you have no idea what we're truly basing them on.

Sorry and hope you feel better soon!

Oooh that looks sore. Is if bigger than a 50p?

I'd go to a pharmacy for some advice tbh. Unless you have a specialist nurse you could contact?

I seem to remember that burns hurting is a good thing because it means you haven't damaged the nerves. But, I'm no medic.

Hope it heals up soon.

Same size as a 50p id say.
Maybe I will ask the pharmacist.
I thought it was getting better and now it hurts again 😬

Burns can get infected so it would be an idea to get it checked I think, especially if that reddish skin also feels warm, or is growing.

Call your GP or diabetic nurse at the practice. Ask if you can send in this photo.

Most GP practices have a system to allow this now.
They can decide, as they know your medical history.

If you are a diabetic I would definitely get that burn checked particularly since it appears to be getting sore.
